i do. right now i got about ~4600 miles on the beast with no problem at all.

service record(all done by myself)
-engine oil(castrol gtx10w30, oem honda filter) and differential fluid(mobil 1 75w90) change @ 2000 miles
-transmission fluid change @ 3000 miles(Honda MTF)
-engine oil change @ 3500 miles(castrol gtx 10w30, k&n performance gold filter hp-1004)


the only "annoyances" i have is that there are creaking, clicking noises coming from soft top. i've driven lots of s2000's in the past and its normal, so im just getting used to it. hopefully when my hardtop comes in, the noises will be cut down a bit.

Great. Same here. About 6K on it and nothing. Love it to death. Where do you guys live? Are you able to drive year round with it?

03 Silverstone, 9100 miles been to dealership 3 times with second gear grind dealer claims they couldn't replicate and returned all 3 times. The notchy 2nd gear I expected but not having second gear available above 7000rpm sucked. Clutch is fully pressed and not "slamming" into gear. Problem somewhat solved by slightly pausing between 1-2 other than that and annoying rattles with the top up on a cold day everything is fine, rear tires a little thin but my oil consuption isn't as bad as I thought.

no problems here...Just passed 3,000 miles...check this site out http://alldata.com/TSB/24/032446AQ.html It has all the problems that have been complained about. Only 11 not bad considering how many other manufacturers have.
